"TiVo will survive as a premium-branded niche player in the PVR market. Even if TiVo doesn't survive as a product or company, the name will live on as it has become part of the American lexicon as the generic name for PVRs and as a verb: 'I TiVo'd "American Idol" last night.'"

-David Esrati/Chief creative officer/The Next Wave/Dayton, Ohio
